Does the collapsible stock affect accuracy?
(i.e ) if everything else is the same, will a non-standard A2 stock be JUST as accurate?

The stock does not affect accuracy in of itself - but stocks can affect you cheekweld and eye relief and comfort etc.
I shot a sub 1/3rd MOA group with a 2.5-10x NightForce on a SR-25EM Carbine several weeks ago -- it had a collapsible stock.
I bought a RRA 16 inch model for fun. Thats what it does for me. Dont think it is a serious battle rifle, but I did not buy it for that. It is plenty accurate but it does have its weak points and the talk about the use of the FAL magazines does create a problem. It is a good plinker, accurate but not hard core. If I was going to look at an AR platform for a battle rifle, I would save my money and buy one of the higher end rifles, if it is to be used as a plinker, this is a good rifle.

I own a LaRue OBR 20" rifle, topped with a Leupold mk4 4.5-14 optic. It regularly groups .75" at 200yds in 5 shot groups, sometimes better, if I have a real good day. I also own a PWS mk214, with a t1 with the 4moa dot, and at 100 yds I get 2" groups average. Both rifles do exactly what I want them to do, with the LaRue really being exceptional.
Kevin, the KAC rifles are beautiful, and lust worthy in every aspect. I wish for an m110 daily ;)
Not all of these rifles ( 308 ar's) would perform in a battle situation, many need tweeking to run well. Both of mine worked great from go, but if your life counts on it, I would take the SR-25, battle proven!
I think the best all around is the LMT. The price is not too much, and not too little.
That being said, KAC and Armalite make really great rifles too. I like the fact that there is now an Armalite that will accept the SR-25 patterned magazines.
